5310 - HEALTH SERVICES

1. The District may provide or request parents/legal guardians to provide:
    
   1. general physical examinations for athletics, including electrocardiogram (ECG) screening;
   2. dental examinations;
   3. tests for communicable disease;
   4. vision and/or audiometric screening;
   5. scoliosis tests.
2. If the School District chooses to provide nonemergency physical exams or screenings, the Board shall directly notify parents/legal guardians of students, at least annually at the beginning of the school year, of the specific or approximate dates during the school year when any non-emergency, invasive physical examination or screening is scheduled or expected to be scheduled for students if examination or screening is: (1) required as a condition of attendance; (2) administered by the school and scheduled by the school in advance; and (3) not necessary to protect the immediate health and safety of a specific student, or other students.
3. The Board does not perform any invasive physical examinations. The term “invasive physical examination” means any medical examination that involves the exposure of private body parts, or any act during such examination that includes incision, insertion, or injection into the body. Hearing, vision, scoliosis, and body mass index screenings are not considered invasive physical examinations, and parents/legal guardians will be given the option at registration to "opt-in" to any screening.
4. The Superintendent shall develop and update as needed administrative procedures to implement this policy.
